Wellington Hurricanes 2011 Home Games, Wellington Accommodation

Support the Hurricanes in their quest for glory this 2011 Investec Super Rugby season. The draw started on 18 February and concludes on 18 June. The Hurricanes play six home games at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, plus one home match in Napier and one in Palmerston North.

The Hurricanes represents the East Coast, Poverty Bay, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, Wanganui, Manawatu, Wairarapa-Bush, Horowhenua-Kapiti and Wellington unions in the 2011 Investec Super Rugby competition. The franchise is New Zealand’s largest 2011 Investec Super Rugby franchise with a catchment area of 920,000 people from the central and lower North Island.

Now in its 6th year, the 2011 Investec Super Rugby competition is widely considered the finest provincial rugby competition in the world. Its unique blend of Pacific flair, Afrikaans power and Australian tenacity has not only successfully bridged the amateur and professional eras, but captured a new generation of fans like nothing else before it.

Crowd participation at home games is always an amazing sight, with many Wellingtonians wholeheartedly supporting their team. Faces are painted yellow and black, banners are brought out and the camaraderie in the colosseum-like Westpac Stadium spectators are encouraged to wear as much yellow as possible at home games to ‘Yellow Out' the Stadium.
